📜17 October 1797. With the Treaty of Campoformio, a small town in #Friuli region, #Napoleon sells (or gives away) Venice and its region to the Austrian, at the time still leading nation of the so called Sacred Roman Empire (which will be extinct in 1806).
Napoleon conquered Venice just few months before (see more story 👉 here) but he wasn't much interested in the city (apart from stealing everything he could from Venetian palaces), so he used it as a bargain for his expansionist aims.
The Austrian troops entered in Venice at the beginning of 1798, the entire Venetian region stayed under #Austria domination until 1866.
«Il sacrificio della patria nostra è consumato: tutto è perduto; e la vita, seppure ne verrà concessa, non ci resterà che per piangere le nostre sciagure, e la nostra infamia."
(Ugo Foscolo, Ultime lettere di Jacopo Ortis)

📜22 October 1866. Venice and the entire Veneto region are annexed to Italy (at the time Regno d'Italia, yes we had the king 👑😉).
Venice was under Austria since 1797 (see more #VeniceHistory 👉 here). After the many revolutionary episodes against foreign domination that took place all over the country during the 19th century, the Kingdom of Italy which unified most regions was born in 1861.
In 1866 #Italy declares war to #Austria in an attempt to militarily conquer Venice: despite the defeat or Italian troops, Austria gave Venice to #France which at the time politically supported the new born Kingdom of Italy. Venice was formally given to Italy on October 19, and soon after (21-22 October) a referendum was held for the Veneto population, which ended in a plebiscite with 674,426 votes in favor of the annexion and 69 against.
